Question

fluid mosaic model can protein and lipids have transverse motion?

Answer 1

One of the tenets of the Fluid-Mosaicmembrane model is that the components of the bilayers are free to move. ... Phospholipids in the lipidbilayer can either move rotationally, laterally in one bilayer, or undergotransverse movement between bilayers. Lateral movement is what provides the membrane with a fluidstructure.
